Transcript of Pixiclip & Vocaroo - Two useful teaching tools using audio and more !

A great tool to record your voice while you upload pics,

& write / doodle on an interactive whiteboard.

The tools are surprisingly easy and fun

to use.

So , play around with

the functionality before you

record a final lesson.

It’s FREE and gives you the option to use video OR , if you are like me, and you “ have a face

for radio “, you can just record audio.

NOT ME !

T

I have used Pixiclip for a TOEIC Speaking Test Class I taught to Korean University students.

Students can only HEAR the questions and have to quickly

scan the text / picture on the screen

for the answers.

They then have to RECORD their

responses into a microphone at their

computer. http://www.pixiclip.com/beta/c/e243

I then asked the students to record their responses , using Vocaroo, a FREE online audio

recording site.

On the TOEIC speaking test, students RECORD their spoken

answers via a computer microphone.

For this Pixiclip / Vocaroo activity, I ask the students to email me their

recorded responses.

I highly recommend BOTH Pixiclip and Vocaroo !
